Hmmm...

A couple of recent posts on the droll - including a lovely retelling of How Coyote Stole the Fire by - got me thinking about tricksters and how prevalent they seem to be in these parts. I am, of course, very interested in them myself [/understatement]. Being a curious bird, I thought the topic required some pollifying.

Cake for breakfast. Om nom nom.

Sadly the only trickster I know is the one from Supernatural, so I'm no use for your poll.

*Chocolate* cake for breakfast. :D Many noms were had.

Hee! Oh, that's fine. I know it's not a universal thing, but there's been just enough discussion of the motley lot, I got curious.

[turps33]

I'm glad you did get curious. I always enjoy seeing where your posts go :D

[crowgirl13]

:D I do like me some random polls. And if people are feeling chatty, some interesting conversation spring up, which is always awesome.

Tricksters and Mythology are my Favorites!

Anansi and Loki and Puck and The Fae and the crows and the leprechauns and the coyote and the EVERYTHING.

The Native American Tricksters hold a special place in my heart. Also does Loki (I studied Asatru and Norse Mythology in 9th grade... made mother nervous.)

I approve of all things Trickster!

Sometimes, when the sun is rising you can just feel Kokopelli playing on Camelback Mountain and the mischief just starts *rolling* in.

I think that's why I like the Southwest, So much Culture and Just... its a bit Magical down here sometimes.

Oooh, Puck. Yes. :) And Anansi.

Loki's always been my favorite. :)

The Monkey King & Loki will always be my favorites, but I do also like Coyote and Anansi, and kitsune, and pooka, and Hermes and Odysseus both have trickster elements and I am very fond of them as well.

... Basically, tricksters are awesome.

I'm sorry, but Loki is just. Loki is the epitome of what I love about SO MANY THINGS. Trickster gods, Norse mythology, storytelling... *bounces* I haven't seen Thor yet, but even if Natalie Portman wasn't in it, I would want for the ravings I've heard about how awesome Loki was. :DDD

ETA: I was going to say, most of the others I like are literary based, rather than mythology. With the exception of Hermes. ^__^

Cake for breakfast is always acceptable, yes! :D (Except before 9am, because I had some icing from cake in our breakroom this morning at 5:30am with my tea - I figured I'd need the sugar - and was doubled over with a sore stomach for a large amount of my shift. D: Happened before with an orange, but I thought it was just too citrusy for an empty stomach. /o\)

Why don't I have an appropriate icon for either topic? D: Must get on that! Until then, have Grant Morrison. :D?
